Re: Babies due on FIRST QUARTER OF 2017 (JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH)

[bluish_buff]

Ako din unmedicated sana kung kakayanin. Pero feeling ko, hindi. Hahaha!

Drink lots of water sis baby_gab. And buco juice or cranberry juice.

[gulaysk]

Got my repeat ogtt results yesterday and thank goodness pasado na ako! So happy cleared ako sa GDM. Also needed for the results to be normal because I have an upcoming trip this Sat to Osaka with my sisters. Buti na lang pinirmahan na ni ob ang clearance.

I plan to have an unmedicated birth. I did lamaze sa first born ko, no anesthesia whatsoever. This time, I'm aiming for water birth naman with the midwives of Shiphrah Birthing Home in Taytay. Still seeing my ob though. And just started my prenatal check-up sa Shiphrah.

[abbeyS]

Sissies, i also had my OGTT and bagsak ako sa 1st hour   was being referred to ni OB sa endo, scheduled tomorrow.  Anyone na naka experience neto? Ano mga ipapagawa? Sabi ni OB might be requested for a food diary and this will be until manganak na? Nakakaloka, nag gain din kasi ako ng 3 kls in 1 month haha. 

[gulaysk]

^I failed my first ogtt (1st hr also) but OB asked to have it done again. Results came back normal after the second time. Pwede mo kaya ulitin?

During my last check-up, may gdm yung patient before sa akin. Naoverhear ko nga ang tungkol sa meal plan na kailangang sundin.

Do you take maternity milk? Mataas daw kasi yun sa sugar. Could be the cause. The group Pinay Doulas discourage drinking the milk kasi madalas nagiging cause ng gdm.

[faith_78]

sis abbeyS, i also failed 1 out of 3 sa OGTT ko. same din na yung 1st hour ang mataas.
di naman pinaulit sa'ken  at arm extraction ako. feeling ko baka nga dahil finger prick yung kay sis gulaysk kaya inallow na ulitin.
so far, 3 weeks na ko nagmo-monitor ng blood sugar. no need naman for insulin kase di naman sobrang taas or consistent nung spikes ko. sabe ng endo kayang i-manage through diet. tsaka she also had me do another blood test and dun nya nakita na pregnancy talaga yung cause ng diabetes.
bale 4x a day ako nagche-check ng blood sugar tapos nilo-log ko yung results.
regular pa rin naman ang kain ko. though nagbawas ako sa dessert and juices. most of the time naman within normal range yung blood sugar ko unless may kainin talaga ako na sobrang tamis.
dati kabadong-kabado din ako pero now that i know na manageable naman sya, mas magaan na sa pakiramdam.

[kittybabe]

Haay mga sis, im showing signs of uti at 26 weeks. Pinapa-culture ang urine ko and will take antibiotics. Im scared to drink the antibiotic kasi it might affect baby.  Anong meds binigay sa inyo for those who had uti na before and how many weeks pregnant kayo nun? Kaya ba daanin sa buko juice and water therapy ang uti during pregnancy?

[evokezion]

Hi sis baby_gab and paulineangeline.. sorry for the late reply naging busy sa work 😊 baby boy ang sa akin. Thank GOD kase okay na kami ni hubby dahil 1st namin is girl 😊 about breech confident naman Dra ko na iikot pa daw kaya okay lang daw ako. Am on my 30weeks naw bilis ng panahon 2weeks from now 8months na ako (Thank you Lord.. another 1 month pa) pero problem ko naman ngaun mga sissess is my hypertension nasa stage 2 ako kase hindi bumababa bp ko haay hindi matapos tapos ang challenges. Hindi naman ako highblood nung hindi ako pregnant. Thankful lang ako kase walang protein ang urinalysis ko kaso sobrang manas naman ng feet ko (nawawala naman overnight pero not totally kumbaga lumiliit naman). Ask ko lang mga sisses.. me nagpa cbc or complete blood count ba sa inyo dito while pregnant and highblood? Ewan ko ba my instinct is telling me not to do it today hindi dahil takot ako sa karayom.. i dont know if its safe for my pregnancy although sabi ng Dr safe naman daw..

[evokezion]

Hi sis kittybabe.. drink cranberry juice as well not the cocktail juice ha! Kase malakas sa sugar content iyon. Try mo brand na "old orchard" meron sila na pure cranberry juice tama lang ang asim. Then drink lots of water and samahan mo na rin ng buko juice. It worked for me tsaka lagi kang pa urinalysis para sigurado every 2 weeks kase iyan ang nakapag pa preterm sa 1st ko because of uti that is why am doing everything i can to prevent that.. ang problem ko lang ngaun is my hypertension.. from 160/ 100 nag 140/90 na ako after a week.. kulang pa rin kase mataas pa rin normal daw at least less than 120 over less than 90.. diet na nga halos ginagawa ko ngaun and as in unting salt na lang talaga. Am taking meds "aldomet" 250mg 3x a day kase ito daw ang ob friendly according to my cardio in st luke's..

[raiza0022]

Sa akin mommies pass naman yung OGTT and urinalysis, wala naman problem yung pregnancy ko.

The only thing that bothers me is the gender, nakaka 3 ultrasound na kami and hindi makita yung gender nya kasi natatakpan ng legs eh. And then Saturday, 4th ultrasound (24 weeks) namin nag tyaga talaga yung sono, siguro naaawa na sakin kasi pang ilan ko nang try ng gender determination since 16 weeks namin, halos magpaikot ikot na ko sa bed, then sabi nya 50-60% sure daw sya na girl kasi may nakita and na-capture nya yung parang hati in between and wala talaga syang makitang naka tulis. It really bothers me kasi bakit hindi pa 100%? We really want a girl this time kasi we have 2 boys na.

Ok lang naman kahit boy sya ulit as long as healthy. eh, bukod sa shopping na shopping na ko (lol), stressed out na ko kasi gusto ko talaga ng sure result ng gender. May naka experience ba sa inyo ng hindi masigurado sa ultrasound yung gender?

Above all, I am thankful kasi walang complication yung pregnancy and ok si baby.

[baby_gab]

sis kittybabe, thrice nako nagkaka UTI for this pregnancy. at 12 weeks-cefuroxime. 20 weeks-sambong capsules. Na-clear naman ako during those times. Ngayong 34 weeks, co-amoxiclav. This latest one urged me to have a check up nang wala sa oras dahil ang sakit ng hita at singit ko. Masakit din pag umihi. Sana ma-clear dahil malapit-lapit nako manganak. Baka magka infection pa si baby. Buko juice and water could help, pero baka mas maganda if gagamutin talaga sis. Confirm mo kay OB.

hi sis evokezion, nakapagpa-CBC ako nung 2nd tri pero di naman ako highblood. i hope maging ok BP mo and kayo ni baby.

[bluish_buff]

Hi sis kittybabe, once lang ako nagka UTI around 7-8 weeks ako nun. Hindi ako pinescribe ni OB ng antibiotics, baka daw kayanin sa buco juice or cranberry juice and 2 liters of water daily. After two weeks, naclear naman un uti ko. Thank God. Every since,hindi na cya bumalik every time magpapa urinalysis ako.

Share ko lang what I do, tuloy pa rin ang 8-10 glasses of water or more, OB advised not to use panty liner better daw if cotton panty tapos magpalit ng 3times a day, once in a while or once a week nagbubuco juice ako, punas punas every wiwi. Hope this helps

[kittybabe]

thanks for your replies sis evokezion, bluish_buff and baby_gab. nagpa-urine culture na ako today kasi hindi ako pwede mag-start ng antibiotics until mapagawa ko ang lab test na ito. cefuroxime ang binigay sa akin na meds. pinapa-ecg din ako ng ob ko kasi diagnosed ako with heart arrhythmia 2 years ago but since normal 2D echo ko, my cardio said nothing to worry about. however since my 6th month parang hingal ako lagi maglakad and especially kapag busog ako ang hirap huminga.

[hun_nie08]

Pwede palang pumasa sa susunod na ogtt.. Pano ginawa mo sis?

GDM ako sa first at pati ngayong pregnancy ko na ito e. Minsan nadedepress ako na need ko iwatch ang kinakain ko e lagi pa naman ako gutom.

[gulaysk]

^^Mine was a different case kasi iba procedure na ginawa ng lab na pinuntahan ko for my ogtt nung first time. OB asked me to repeat it kasi nung unang beses, prick lang ang ginawa. Gusto niya blood extraction talaga. Mas accurate daw kasi results nun.

[annasui]

Had my repeat OGTT last Saturday. Last month kase super fasting ata ako nun kaya kahit nainom ko na yung sweet stuff, mas bumaba pa yung result kesa nung before ko pa inumin yun.

76 sugar ko before drinking again last Saturday, tapos after 2 hours 80 lang lumabas. Okay lang daw yun sabi ni OB pero mas maganda daw kung mga 90. So she advised me na kumain from time to time and bring candy na rin all the time, or sa morning drink daw ako honey mga 1 tablespoon. Pag super baba daw kase yun nga nababawasan oxygen ni baby sa loob.

Super diet ko ata sa sweets and mashado ko ata dine-deprive sarili ko lol. So ngayon di na ako nagpipigil kumain ng matamis, pero in moderation pa rin. On my 28th week already, so far okay naman weight ko and weight ni baby so wala pa rin pinagbabawal. Except that last month tumigil na ako sa maternity milk, low-fat milk na pinainom ni OB para sa calcium source ko plus yung calcium supplement na binigay nya saken.

[baby_gab]

hi mga sis. thank God at cleared na UTI ko today. 

sa mga sissies natin dyan (esp those nearing term), have you noticed an increase in your discharges lately? this morning nagulat ako kase first time in my pregnancy na ganon. though clear naman sya and not smelly (sorry po if TMI). i've read some say na normal, sabi naman ng iba baka part ng mucus plug. i'm on my 35th week btw.

[najine]

Hi mga sissies!
natural ba minsan nagsusumiksik si baby sa taas ng tyan na minsan nahihirapan huminga? minsan naman tambay sa puson kaya dun naman nasakit?

[sarsingkit]

^Normal for me. Minsan, nakasaksak na sya sa rib cage ko or minsan when I get up from my chair, biglang nakasaksak na sya sa bladder ko. Feeling ko tuloy my bladder is going to burst with pee. I know fetal movements are suppose to be magical, pero minsan ang uncomfortable nya.

[mamey]

I feel you both mga sis sarsingkit & najine. Im 34 weeks na at mas lalong nagiging uncomfortable. di nako makatulog ng maayos sa gabi. mas active sha sa gabi lalo na pag nakahiga nako. sobrang tigas then puro sipa.. esp when Im lying on my side feeling ko hate nya yon. Todo sipa sha. haha..
minsan nakakatawa yung galaw nya pero minsan naiiyak din ako kasi hirap ako makatulog then I still need to go to work the next morning. lagi ko nalang kinakausap na patulugin nya si mommy. hehe..

btw mga sis na edd is January, complete na ba gamit nyo? this weekend palang ako mag aayos ng hospital bag

[baby_gab]

Hi mga sis! Just came from my OB and she said na engaged na raw si baby. Magbibigay na sya ng admitting orders next week. Ayaw na nya umabot ng Jan 4. Last wk of December, she'll induce labor daw if di pako manganak by then. Last qtr of 2016 pala ang baby ko. Lalo kami na excite ni hubby.

Hirap na rin ako to sustain my sleep at night dahil sa galaw ni baby. May times talaga na sobrang likot nya. Aside from peeing, bumabangon din ako due to back pain and kung ano-ano pang masakit sa katawan. Hehe

I've packed my hospital bag a few weeks ago and I think ok na naman. Dito rin ako sa GT kumuha ng ideas plus some tips from OB.
